CVSSv3.1:

CVE-ID: CVE-2010-4270

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to view contents of arbitrary files on the server.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied input in "/administrator/components/com_nbill/admin.nbill.php" and "/components/com_nbill/nbill.php" scripts. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP request, containing directory traversal sequences (e.g. “../”) and view contents of arbitrary file on vulnerable server.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to potentially sensitive information.
